I need to play intensely every day, to fight every match hard.

To be recognised by a whole country is incredible. This is massive.

Messi is the Mozart of football.

The door can never be closed for good to any player.

My toughest opponent? Scholes of Manchester. He is the complete midfielder.

Football boots are very technical and have lots of specific requirements.

We were a family who had come from nothing and now we had respect from French people of all sorts.

It doesn't matter how many times you win an award, it is always very special.

Real Madrid is the most important thing that happened to me, both as a footballer and as a person.

I am proud of where I come from and I will never forget the people I grew up with.

I may have had a lot of luck in my life, but I still need to find a challenge in the game.

Sometimes words are harder than blows.

Everything I have achieved in football is due to playing football in the streets with my friends

Life is full of regrets, but it doesn't pay to look back.

There's room for boys' and girls' football in the world-that's what I believe.

I'm a strong person, I'm a strong family man, I'm a strong husband and a strong father.

I'm a big fan of old boots.

I can play in the centre, on the right and occasionally on the left side.

As a footballer, you always want to test yourself against the best.
